If the tow vehicle has no commercial lettering or licence plates you can slide by.These days any vehicle or combination over 10,000 lbs commercial or not is required to have a DOT number.You can go to DOT.GOV and do your research. 
Not if it's RECREATIONAL 
No you don't need to stop at any weigh stations and I never have with the 50 footer behind the dually

Mike,Rick,you have been lucky  I suggest you do your research and get a DOT number,they are FREE.Also make sure your truck can leagally pull that 50 ft'r.DOT regulation are federal and apply to ANYTHING over 10k lbs.When you tell them it's"recreational",,,,,,,,,remember to say there is NO PRIZE $$$$$,otherwise you are considered commerce. 
 Al is right! Ask Bob George about the DOT and race car trailers.
You have been lucky so far. I know West Virgina is bad and Ohio can be bad also. I think it's a $2,500.00 fine for bypassing the scales in Ohio.
You might want to check the Federal DOT laws, then write you congressmen and tell them what BS this is. Instead of screwing up health care why don't they fix the DOT laws.
